Matt joined the NBC Montana weather team in July 2013 after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology from The Florida State University in May of that year. This is his first professional position in the weather field and he is excited to begin his career at NBC Montana.
Matt became fascinated with weather while watching thunderstorms during the hot Florida afternoons. The 2004 hurricane season has serious impacts on the Sunshine State, including Matt's hometown of Ocala, FL. It was then that he began to consider meteorology as a career. During his time at FSU, Matt spent summers launching weather balloons in Oklahoma and interning at WHNT TV in Huntsville, Alabama where he decided to pursue a broadcasting career.
Matt is an avid sports fan and follows the New York Mets, New York Giants, and his alma mater's sports teams. He also enjoys outdoor pursuits such as backpacking and plans to spend more time outdoors now that he resides in a place as beautiful as western Montana.

With the promise that the Registered Traveler program will be rolled out in as many as 20 American airports this year, allowing pre-screened travelers to move quickly through airport security, New York — based Verified Identity Pass Inc. is targeting potential travel-related clients, and Meeting Professionals International is on the list.
Verified operates the Clear Registered Traveler program, in place at Orlando International Airport, and has been hired to run Registered Traveler programs at the airports in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and San Jose, Calif. The Transportation Security Administration has said it is on track to roll out the program to 20 airports this year, starting June 20, provided that private-sector companies such as Verified reach agreements with the airports and get the necessary security approvals from TSA.
In the meantime, Verified has been courting potential volume clients for its Clear memberships. Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, for example, is purchasing Clear memberships to offer on a complimentary basis to its Gold Passport, Diamond-tier members. Hyatt also plans to make Clear membership available to other Hyatt guests through promotional offers later this year. (Membership, of course, is not automatic. Travelers must submit to and pass a security screening.)
Verified is also going after large travel-management companies. It reached an agreement with TQ3Navigant of Englewood, Colo., which plans to offer its customers corporate discounts on membership; BCD Travel Partners, a Dutch-owned travel management company with U.S. headquarters in Atlanta; and Travel and Transport Inc. of Omaha, Neb.
"We're launching a new industry," says Fred Fischer, Verified's vice president of sales. "And we've been signing up travel management companies, credit card companies, hotel chains. … As we add more airports, we'll start looking at other organizations. MPI is definitely on our radar screen."
According to Fischer, corporations are already using Verified as a tool/perk for meetings held in Orlando, the only city with a functioning Registered Traveler program. "We had a law firm in New York bring us in and have us enroll, on site, over 800 people for a meeting in Orlando," Fischer says, adding that the benefit allowed the law firm personnel to zip through security in minutes on the way out of Orlando, rather than endure long security lines. (Because of the time required and complexity of the process, Verified will register a company's travelers on site at their offices only if 250 people or more are applying for the Clear membership.)
The Will of Brill
While the main advantage of any Registered Traveler program is to make the security-line process more efficient and less intrusive, TSA has announced that Registered Traveler participants will have to go through most of the same security procedures that regular travelers go through. Verified officials, however, say its partnership with General Electric, which will provide technology such as ShoeScanner and Itemiser FX (an explosives and narcotics detector), will help to make the process more efficient and convenient.
Steven Brill, founder and CEO of Verified, believes the Registered Traveler program in Orlando — where Verified has signed up 23,000 business travelers — demonstrates there is a national market for the product. "Our program is working exactly how the original program was intended," Brill says. "It's turning what can be a most frustrating experience [waiting in security lines], into one that's more efficient."
According to Brill, program participants in Orlando fly, on average, three times a month and represent about 12 percent of airport traffic. "Once the program is fully blown out over the next two years, we think we will be able to accommodate 20 [percent] to 50 percent [of the traffic at a participating airport]."
While recent press coverage indicates that some airports, such as Las Vegas' McCarran International, are hesitant to implement Registered Traveler because they do not believe it will enhance security or greatly reduce waiting times, Brill downplayed the reports.
"Some airports have a wait-and-see attitude, some have other issues to worry about at the moment, and some are pushing ahead," Brill maintains. "In some cases, we haven't done enough to communicate."

Scottish Miners 1982
- Scottish Art
This captivating photograph shows a miner with his face covered in black soot with the whites of his eyes standing out. He stares intently into the camera. Rogovin sits within the great tradition of American social-documentary photography and he approached his subjects with an exacting eye. He photographed the miners of Appalachia for twenty years from the 1960s, and, in the 1980s, received the W. Eugene Smith Award to extend his work to Europe, Asia, South Africa, China, Mexico and Cuba. In 1982 he travelled to Scotland, where this photograph was taken.

An exhaustive application of human logic to all available routes -- the thread
Trial and error approaches a desired solution
Ariadne's thread blindly exhausts the evolutionary search space completely, never escaping
The obsessive replication of the unit for the illusion
Of the good of the many -- to celebrate that is to celebrate
The perpetuation of the social lie, and the illusion that
Pretending the destruction of the earth
Will be for the good of many is enough,
Enough -- while knowing that it will never be enough
To ensure the immortality of the unit --
Nothing on earth will ever be enough

Replicators are not naked genes, though they may have been when life began. Nowadays, most of them are strung along chromosomes, chromosomes are wrapped up in nuclear membranes, and nuclei are enveloped in cytoplasm and enclosed in cell membranes. Cells, in turn, are cloned to form huge assemblages which we know as organisms. Organisms are vehicles for replicators, survival machines as I have called them. But just as we had a nested hierarchy of would-be replicators -- small and large fragments of genome -- so there is a hierarchy of nested vehicles. Chromosomes and cells are gene vehicles within organisms. In many species organisms are not dispersed randomly but go around in groups. Multispecies groups form communities or ecosystems. At any of these levels the concept of vehicle is potentially applicable. Vehicle selection is the differential success of vehicles in propagating the replicators that ride inside them. In theory selection may occur at any level of the hierarchy.
I see the world as populated by competing replicators in germ lines. Each replicator, when compared with its alleles, can be thought of as being attached to a suite of characters, outward and visible tokens of itself. These tokens are its phenotypic consequences, in comparison with its alleles, upon the world. They determine its success or failure in continuing to exist. To a large extent the part of the world a gene can influence may happen to be limited to a local area that is sufficiently clearly bounded to be called a body, or some other discrete vehicle -- perhaps a wolf pack. But this is not necessarily so. Some of the phenotypic consequences of a replicator, when compared with its alleles, may reach across vehicle boundaries. We may have to face the complexity of regarding the biosphere as an intricate network of overlapping fields of phenotypic power. Any particular phenotypic characteristic will have to be seen as the joint product of replicators whose influence converges from many different sources, many different bodies belonging to different species, phyla, and kingdoms. This is the doctrine of the "extended phenotype."
Richard Dawkins: from Replicators and Vehicles, in Current Problems in Sociobiology, King's College Sociobiology Group, eds., Cambridge, 1982
And again, there's the question of the corporate vis-à-vis the common. Latin would argue that the corporate is the imagination of a body, that may or may not have conjunction with other bodies. So it's to my mind an imagination of separating or singularizing an independent entity and function. Great corporations are -- not just imaginally, but would actually seem to be -- bodies, whose value is determined by function, that do increase to the largest magnitude of their potential to incorporate. And thus they have as limit only the breakdown of the bureaucratic, or the breakdown of the infrastructure that continues a relationship between all parts of this expanding condition. So it's not a common place, although many may be inside it, or thus be experiencing it. Then again, it's frequent, and it's certainly familiar. But is it commonplace? I guess that's really the question. Is it the case that humanly one always moves to make these bodies, or these embodiments of particular authority, need or function? Because they are embodiments, and thus not just their authority but their occasion comes from what they do. Whether they employ, or create, or make things, it's not -- I mean, it's finally not that they don't have an intent to make a car or a bottle -- but they don't necessarily have that as an end in view. They have the production of a sustaining input as their own limit.

Mr. Gasket
Throughout its more than 30 years in business, Mr. Gasket Inc. has catered to a specific market: the automotive enthusiast looking for a part or accessory that will boost his car's performance or give it a unique appearance. In 1993, after being founded and run for the better part of three decades by Joseph F. ?Joe? Hrudka, the company emerged from a two-year bankruptcy reorganization in two parts. The independent Performance Industries Inc. was headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, and operated by Hrudka until 1995. Mr. Gasket continued on as a Brooklyn, Ohio-based subsidiary of Connecticut's Echlin Inc. In the mid-1990s, Mr. Gasket's product line included UltraSeal high-performance gaskets, Hurst shifters and linkage, Daytona accessories, Lakewood traction bars and bell housings; Hayes clutches, Black Magic II louvers, Rodware chrome accessories, and Bandit lug nuts and wheel accessories.
Mr. Gasket manufactures a variety of performance parts and accessories, including carburetor and fuel accessories, cooling system accessories, engine components, fasteners, gaskets, and suspension and drive line components. The Mr. Gasket brand provides a variety of performance and racing products for all parts of your vehicle including: carburetor and fuel accessories, chrome-plated accessories, cooling system accessories, engine components, ignition and electrical accessories, shifter accessories, specialty tools and suspension and driveline components. Mr. Gasket also includes Ultra-Seal gaskets and fasteners.
Under the management of its new parent, Mr. Gasket's sales increased from about $40 million in 1993 to about $73 million by 1995. John ?Jack? McGrath assumed Mr. Gasket's presidency in October 1995. McGrath brought two decades of experience in the automotive aftermarket, having been hired away from Allied Signal's Automotive Aftermarket division. McGrath revealed his two-part plan for Mr. Gasket in a February 1996 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) News interview. He said he hoped to increase the company's penetration of the high-tech end of the market through the creation of a Custom Racing Products Group, while building on the firm's core accessory market. Improvements in marketing and distribution were keys to the program's success. McGrath boosted retail and mail-order distribution, and increased Mr. Gasket's dozen or so brands' television exposure via sponsorships of segments and spot tv ads on ?Motor Trend?, ??Shadetree Mechanic,? ?Road Test Magazine,? and ?Inside Drag Racing.? The company even started cruising the ?information superhighway? with a presence on the ?Motorville Online? Web site.

I recently sprang for a handheld vacuum and it was probably the best 50-or-so-bucks I've ever spent-for me at least, it has been pretty revolutionary.
It's just an incredibly handy thing to have when you don't feel like lugging out your heavier, clunky canister or upright vacuum (which I never do). Most are cordless these days too, eradicating the need to untangle and fuss with any wires or plugs. It's brilliant for sucking up dirt on and underneath floor mats inside a car, for running over the sofa seat cushions and back pillows (especially if you have a pet), tidying up before guests come over, for picking up basically any kind of little spill or mess, for getting into tight corners of a room… I've had mine for less than a month and have pulled it out at least three or four times a week for one reason or another.

Plan Your The White Mountains Vacation
Sailors approaching East Coast harbors frequently mistake the pale peaks of the White Mountains—the highest range in the northeastern United States—for clouds. It was 1642 when explorer Darby Field could no longer contain his curiosity about one mountain in particular. He set off from his Exeter homestead and became the first European to climb what would later be called Mt. Washington. The 6,288-foot peak must have presented Field with formidable obstacles—its summit claims the highest wind velocity in the world ever recorded (231 mph in 1934) and can see snow every month of the year.

Throughout the years, there have always been reports of strange occurrences out on the South Florida waters, but with the latest discovery, south of Caxambas pass, marine biologists from around the world are now flocking to Marco Island.
In 2002, local fishing guide Captain Phil Ridge reported suction cup scars on a very large hammerhead shark caught off Cape Romano. Since that report was registered with state authorities, several other professional mariners have described strange sightings and unusual phenomena, especially during full-moon nights.
The discovery of what ancient mariners would describe as "The Kraken," or a sea monster, was captured on video off the deep-sea coast of Japan in 1999, but the giant squid that was filmed at a depth of more than 2,000 feet, has never been found alive in shallow waters, until now.
Heading up the international team of investigators for the Marco discovery is Dr. Hiro Tasaki, of the Osaka Deep-Sea Institute of Japan.
"A giant squid found near a shallow water coast is truly a usual find," announced Tasaki, at the Caxambas public boat ramp and marina, on Tuesday.
"Our team is very excited to examine the giant squid, discovered alive and floating, south of Marco Island, and every attempt will be made to return the 80-foot creature to the offshore depths where it belongs. The discovery of such an incredible specimen alive and aggressive in shallow water is indeed, unprecedented."
"We know that giant squid are common in the gulf," Tasaki continued, "But, normally these deep-water creatures are found well offshore, in depths of up to 5,000 feet.
"Global warming in deep gulf waters could be a factor for this incredible migration, or even the sonic booms from military aircraft might be responsible, but perhaps more important is the lunar factor, which will be affecting the local tides for quite some time."
"The moon," Dr. Tasaki explained, "Is now approaching a 500-year cycle, in which our lunar neighbor will be the closest it has been to the Earth for more than five centuries. The last time the moon was this close and the lunar gravity this strong was around 1509. This cyclic lunar event corresponds directly with the sea monster stories told by the ancient mariners of the early 1500s — exactly five hundred years ago."
Dave Odom, of Island-Hopper Aerial-Adventures helicopter tours, was the first person to report the giant squid, two miles south of Marco Beach. Flying a Raven 44, four-passenger helicopter, with passengers from Germany, Odom and his crew banked over the sandbars south of Caxambas pass and saw the misplaced deep-sea creature active on the waters surface.
"It was almost sunset," pilot Dave Odom explained, "And the view was incredible. We were just crossing the end of Marco Beach and heading south over Caxambas Pass, when everyone saw a very distinctive dark shape moving in the water.
"When we flew in for a closer look, several very large tentacles broke free from the water and appeared to reach up for the helicopter. We also saw the giant squid's eyes — very large and dark."
Hans Bayer, from Düsseldorf, Germany, was in the helicopter's front seat when he commented. "I am certainly glad we are not in a boat! That creature, with those legs, must be at least 30 meters (90 feet) long."
Old Calusa Indian drawings recovered in the most recent archeological dig in old Marco have revealed crude images of squid-like creatures doing battle with Marco's ancient Native Americans.
"March 11 was the last full moon," Tasaki continued, "As the next full moon cycles closer, we can probably expect future sightings. It certainly is possible the misplaced creatures could navigate the extensive Marco canal systems in search of food. All residents should be made aware that a giant squid has a voracious appetite and is one of the most aggressive and intelligent hunters on the planet."
A warning has been issued for all Islanders to be on the alert for unusual activities near waterfront homes. Until further notice, boating at night should be avoided.
"The giant squid has the largest eye on the planet, about 18 inches across," Tasaki explained. "These eyes are very keen in dim underwater conditions, but a giant squid would never surface in bright sunlight. The only occasion that a giant squid of this type would ever surface would be for April Fool's Day!
April Fool, Marco Island!
A little history of the day
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new (Gregorian ) calendar to replace the Julian calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated on the first day of January, and was adopted by France. According to a popular wisdom, many people either refused to accept the new date or did not know about it, and so, continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1.
Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands," or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe and eventually, to America.

Read A Sample Chapter Parashas BereishisParashas Toledos
This work came about in a unique way and that is why it is so uniquely successful. Rabbi Aryeh Leib Lopiansky teaches Chumash to American students in Israel. They needed Torah thoughts to present to their Shabbos hosts, and he undertook to provide them - two for each of the three Shabbos meals. Perfectionist that he is, he searched long and hard for the ones that would be best received. Deciding that he would choose selections based on halachic interpretation, he sifted through countless books, researched the sources, corrected errors, clarified ideas - in short, he became a living source book for the sort of Torah comments that set a table with a lavish selection of Shabbos Delights.
In this work, Rabbi Lopiansky shares his highly praised work with the rest of us. Gratefully, we thank him for these rich helpings of Shabbos Delights, and we look forward to enjoying them and sharing them with our families and guests.

A Palmdale man was arrested Tuesday night for the Sept. 26 fatal shooting of a Pasadena man after a failed robbery.
Rashad McCoy, 23, was being held at the Pasadena jail in lieu of $1 million bail.
According to Pasadena police, 23-year-old Joseph Jones was visiting with friends near Howard Street and Mentone Avenue on Sept. 26 when they were approached by a man who tried to rob them.
Jones and others tried to detain the man who hid in the backyard of a residence near Stanton Street and Newport Avenue where he allegedly laid in wait for the victims to approach, police said in a statement.
Jones was shot once in the upper torso. The robber also fired toward the remaining victims as they fled.
The shooter then ran to a nearby car and left.
Jones died at a hospital.
Detectives later identified McCoy as the suspect. Police said he is a gang member with prior arrests.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Pasadena Police Department Detective Section at 626-744-4511. Anonymous tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or by going to http://lacrimestoppers.org.

Basketball court overturned for parking lot in Manchester
A proposal to restore and renovate the basketball courts at Harriman Park having been rejected, the space is about to become a parking lot. A small playground in the park will, however, be upgraded. (JOSH GIBNEY/UNION LEADER)
In doing so, a majority of aldermen sided with Alderman Ed Osborne and city officials, who said they did not want to see basketball return to the park, which is located at the corner of Lake Avenue and Hall Street.
"Harriman Park has been one of the really under-utilized (parks) in some regards because of the deterioration of park facilities, and the over-utilization by elements we really don't want to have in the park," said Leon Lafreniere, director of planning and community development for the city.
Plans for a Harriman Park upgrade follow the recent restoration of the nearby Odd Fellows Hall into an office building for social service agencies. The city wants to provide parking at the former basketball court. Also, it recently bought two houses adjacent to the park and will use the property for park expansion.
"The parking doesn't need to be there. We need that space for the neighborhood," Craig said.

Defining photography in the art (and art show) world. This topic comes up regularly on the forums and photographers are confronted with it every weekend. Painters don't understand why they are not allowed (by show rules) to sell prints of their paintings if photographers are allowed to sell prints, considering photographs to be reproductions. Another problem is that photographers can be their own worst enemy in how they define their own medium photography as some don't understand what it is that they do. Recently on an art show forum, I posted that photography is a medium of multiple originals and another photographer told me that I was wrong and photographic prints are reproductions because when he places an order with his lab, they ask how many copies he wants. In doing a little research I came up with a logical answer that helps knowledgeable photographer define what they do the the unimformed.
Currently on the Ansel Adams web site, you can purchase Ansel Adams "original photographs" printed by his assistant or archival replicas (reproductions) that are scans of Ansel Adams original prints.
This statement falls in line with the definition of a print from the Glossary of Digital Art and Printmaking
1. In the context of fine art, an original work of art (as a woodcut, lithograph, photograph, or digital print) where the art object or artwork does not exist until it is printed. The print is made directly from the matrix by the artist or pursuant to his/her directions. Also known as "fine print," "work on paper," and "original print." 2. A physical image, usually on paper, produced by, but not limited to, such processes as etching, lithography, serigraphy, relief printing, photography, or digital methods. Prints are usually, but not always, produced on paper and in multiples. Traditional, photographic, and digital processes can be used to produce prints.
I realize that this might not help photographers explain to lay persons what it is that they do. But what they can do is define their work as making (as in creating) photographs and refer to lay people as taking pictures or taking snap shots.

The term refurbished is used to describe products that were returned to their manufacturers specification then tested and repackaged for sale. We utilize a third party of professional technicians who first troubleshoot and then perform any repairs that are necessary to restore the product to like new condition. Refurbished products represent a great value and we offer them with confidence knowing that every refurbished product was tested by a trained group of professionals. Refurbished products are warranted for up to 90 days after purchase. Any product failure not originating from defects in materials or workmanship will not be considered covered under warranty. Warranty terms applicable to refurbished products may vary; see below for specific warranty information and consider purchasing an extended service plan if you desire even more coverage.
